Troubleshooting
Common issues and solutions when configuring Tracfone APN settings.
- No data on Tracfone
- Tracfone uses different APNs depending on your underlying network. For AT&T SIMs use 'tfdata'. For T-Mobile SIMs use 'fast.t-mobile.com'. For Verizon SIMs use 'TRACFONE.VZWENTP'. You can text 'APN' to 611611 to receive the correct settings for your SIM type.
- MMS not working on Tracfone
- Verify the MMSC matches your network. For AT&T SIMs, use MMSC 'http://mms-tf.net' with proxy 'mms3.tracfone.com'. Ensure mobile data is enabled since MMS requires a data connection. Restart your device after updating any MMS settings.
- Tracfone APN settings not saving
- If your phone will not save the APN, the MCC and MNC values may conflict with your SIM. Leave MCC and MNC at the default values your phone auto-detects. If the fields are greyed out, reset network settings and try again.

What is the correct APN for Tracfone?

You can text 'APN' to 611611 from your Tracfone to receive the correct settings automatically via SMS.
How do I know which network my Tracfone uses?

Why is my Tracfone internet so slow?
First verify you are using the correct APN for your network type. Then check that APN Protocol is set to IPv4/IPv6. Toggle Airplane Mode on and off to refresh your connection. If speeds remain slow, ensure you have not used all your high-speed data allotment. Tracfone may throttle data speeds after your plan limit is reached.
